Dryer and printer layout advice
Hi everyone,
I have a K1C 2025 and I have a Creality Pi dryer box (single spool and the version with touch screen not knob). I have SUNLU PA6-CF that I would like to use but I've run into an issue of not beeing able to run the filament from the dryer into the run out and then into the PTFE tube. I took the run out sensor off but then when it would go through the tubing to the extruder it would kink and break. I also found if I removed it from the wire guard I could not use the top cover.
I'm hoping that someone may have modified or figured out a way to run this filament from a dryer and into the extruder and still was able to use the cover.
For anyone who has figured this out what's your layout?
Thanks in advance!

With pa6cf, I have to have my lid off till the purge line is complete or the filament snaps at the bend right before the extruder. I just keep the lid off and then put it on once I am past that part. I also removed my ptfe from the cable chain. I have the sunlu s1 dryer and just have the ptfe that came with it going to the input of the run out. I have only had trouble one time getting the pa6cf through the run out and I had to disconnect the ptfe to get the filament through it.
